Technical Details
Anker Solix has expanded its line of backup power sources with the portable charging station Anker Solix S2000. The new product is positioned as an intermediate solution between lightweight camping batteries and massive home uninterruptible power systems: in essence, in the body of a typical kilowatt model, the company offered twice as much - 2010 Wh. Image: Anker Solix The main achievement of the engineers is the reduction of physical dimensions and weight. With dimensions of only 20 × 28 × 32 cm, the device weighs 16.2 kg. This makes the S2000 immediately 2.7 kg lighter than the recently 'optimized' C2000 Gen 2 model (18.9 kg) and almost twice as light as classic stations of similar capacity from previous years (for example, Anker F2000 weighing 30.5 kg).
Context and Background
The main feature of Solix S2000 is its record-low own energy consumption in standby mode (less than 6 W). This is 2-3 times lower than most competitors on the market. The station is built on the basis of iron-phosphate batteries. The manufacturer claims up to 10,000 charge/discharge cycles with 60% of the initial capacity, which is equivalent to approximately 15 years of regular operation.
Industry Impact
The output power is 1.5 kW (peak - 3 kW). The input power when charging from the AC network is 1.6 kW, when charging from solar panels - 400 W. Anker Solix S2000 has five AC outlets - three in the front and two in the back. On the front of the device, there is a display, as well as a 100W USB-C port (Power Delivery), a 15W USB-C port, and one classic USB-A port with 12W.
